Can you tell gender by beak color?

[LadyCluckington]

I was recently told by someone that you can tell the sex of a chick by the color of his/her beak. That males have darker beaks than females. Any truth to that?

Nope. If there were, the hatcheries wouldn't need to hire the sexing experts.

That's what I thought. Thanks!
